I ran my first 10k race in 9.5 years this morning at BolderBoulder... After going out a bit too fast, my pace faded, especially given the tough first 3.8 miles of the course (mostly uphill). I looked at my Garmin at some point around .6 miles in and I was running at an 6:45 pace! Oh well, my pace ended up being about what some of my faster 5-7 mile training runs have been at recently. I'll have to pick another race later in the year to get into a faster wave for next year's race! Maybe I'll find one on my next business trip to sea level.

Total for the day was 8 miles (counting warm up, and a 1.4 mile run between the two brunches I went to.

I usually add the surface if it is something other than standard road running. I guess adding feet of gain may help judge the run as well. I am not running 6 minute miles in Tennessee that were pretty easy in flat Ohio.
